Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.

Does the outer planet have more moons than outer planet?
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
Does the mass of a planets seem to effect how many moons it has?
Yes. The massive giant planets have far more moons than the less massive terrestrial planets.
Which group of planets has more in common the inner planets or the outer planets?
All the inner planets are terrestrial planets.
Which gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
All of our Solar Systems gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets. Jupiter (63), Saturn (62), Uranus (27) and Neptune (13).
What is generally true about the number of moons of owned by terrestrial planets vs gas planets?
The total number of moons owned by the terrestrial planets is three, and that's a stretch, as one of Mar's moons is almost certainly a captured asteroid. The gas planets have scores of moons among them, mostly because they are much larger, hence have much greater gravity, and attract more moons among them.

Do terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer gas giants?
Terrestrial means on Earth so Earth is the only terrestrial planet This is incorrect, the first 4 planets are terrestrial as they are solidly bound planets. Pluto was also a terrestrial dwarf planet. Any planet can have moons but due to the gas giants having larger gravitational forces they have traditionally gathered more moons. Thusly, no.
What set of planets have more moons terrestrial or gas?
gas planets
What has many moons inner planets or outer planets?
the inner plants have a total of three moons. our moon, and two moons of mars. Phobos, and Deimos. but the out planets have many more moons. Neptune has the least amount of moons out of all the outer planets. it has 13 moons. but, the other outer planets have way more. Jupiter even has 63. of course, there are probably many more moons still to be discovered. well, not for earth and mars. in total, the outer planets must have at least 100 moons.

Why do gas giants have more moons the terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Why do the giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Which group of planets has more in common the inner planets or the outer planets?
All the inner planets are terrestrial planets.
Why do the outer planets have more moons than the inner planet?
The outer planets are much bigger and so have more gravity that can attract more moons. Also in the outer solar system there is more rocks and boulders around that can come together to form moons.
Which gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
All of our Solar Systems gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets. Jupiter (63), Saturn (62), Uranus (27) and Neptune (13).
Why do these gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
